Dangerous Seduction: The Man They All Feared Is Mine
It was city gossip that Aiden Elliott, a powerful figure, was old, hideous, and close to death.
For money, Millie's greedy father, sly stepmother, and jealous stepsister forced her into marrying this so-called dying man.
Refusing to give in, Millie rebelled by spending the night with a male escort-only to find out later he was the very man she was set to marry, the rumored tyrant himself.
"I'm old and ugly?"
"Impotent?"
"You want a divorce?"
Aiden wouldn't let her go.
From then on, Millie became his cherished wife, pampered and protected, envied by everyone.

"Dad, have you lost your mind? You expect me to marry into the Elliott household for one hundred million dollars? You want me to become the bride of that dying old man? I won't do it!" Millie Evans snapped.
Her words had barely left her mouth when her father's hand struck her face without mercy.
Jed Evans, her father, was beside himself with rage. "The payment has already been taken. The Elliotts will hold the ceremony in three days. You'll wed Aiden Elliott. You have no say in the matter!"
His voice was laden with regret as he continued, "I should never have gone soft and fetched you from the country all those years ago! Had I left you there, you wouldn't be creating problems at every turn. You wouldn't have had the nerve to take your sister's man. You made the Evans name a joke!"
He glared at Millie and added, "What respectable man would take a disreputable woman like you as his wife? Getting to marry an Elliott is a stroke of luck people dream about! You don't get to say no!"
Linda Evans, Millie's stepmother, spoke up with false worry in her voice. "Jed, calm yourself. Getting worked up isn't good for you. Millie is still young. She doesn't grasp what crossing the Elliott family could mean," she said.
Eliza Evan, Linda's biological daughter, dabbed at pretend tears and chimed in, "If Millie hates the idea so much, perhaps I ought to take her place? After all, if we upset the Elliott family, our family will be destroyed."
This made Jed even angrier. "Stop! She's thoughtless, and you two keep making excuses for her? No more of this talk! She'll marry into the Elliott household!" he declared.
Millie held her burning cheek and spoke through clenched teeth. "I told you, I won't marry him!"
Then Millie bolted for the door.
Linda's expression shifted. "Guards! Stop her! Don't let her get away! Drag her back here right now!" she commanded.
Millie barely escaped the people chasing her. Her heart felt empty and cold.
She made fists with her hands. She swore she would never let them win.
Juliette Shaw, her best friend, was furious for her sake when they talked on the phone.
"Your father has lost his mind! Everyone's heard the stories about Aiden Elliott. He's that ancient, hideous creep whose previous brides-to-be all died. Your dad's throwing you to the wolves for one hundred million Elliott dollars! I can't wrap my head around it. You're his flesh and blood. How can he treat you so badly?" Juliette said, seething.
Millie held her phone in a tight grip. Her heart sank deeper into hopelessness.
Her mother had passed away when giving birth to her.
Jed, her father, had remarried Linda. He had sent Millie to the countryside. Her grandmother had raised her there.
When they finally brought her back to the Evans home, she had still hoped for love from her family.
But Eliza had plotted against her time and again. Her father had favored Eliza blindly. Now he was marrying her off to a dying man. The small amount of love she had kept for her father was completely gone.
"I absolutely won't marry Aiden!" Millie said firmly.
"But your dad took the money already. The Elliotts are holding the wedding three days from now. Can you even get out of this?" Juliette observed with concern.
"Aiden paid one hundred million dollars. The woman he marries must have an impeccable name. If people hear that I was with a different man right before the wedding, he won't marry me. Not if he has any pride at all," Millie said with resolve.
"What? You want to spend the night with someone else? And let people know about it? If Aiden learns his future wife betrayed him before the wedding, won't he take his rage out on your family? Won't that be terrible?" Juliette was stunned by what Millie planned to do.
Millie spoke slowly and coldly. "I want him to turn his anger on them. They've earned whatever comes their way! If I'm headed for doom either way, I might as well go big. I'll drag some of them down with me!"
After that, Millie ended the call. She headed straight to the Azure Hotel.
She had reached out to a nearby nightclub earlier and asked them to send their best male escort to meet her there.
Her heart beat wildly as she thought about her next move. She couldn't stop herself from clenching her fists.
"You gave me no other option!" she murmured to herself.
The hotel's twenty-eighth floor had a long hallway. A door stood partly open there. The room beyond it was black as pitch. It seemed to swallow up all the light.
"Hello? Is somebody in here?" Millie called out as she walked inside.
She reached for the light switch in the darkness. Before she could locate it, a man's hand grabbed her throat like an iron clamp.
A low, threatening voice spoke in her ear. "You dare to plot against me? Who put you up to this?" he demanded.

I was Grayson Warren’s "broken doll," a disgraced socialite kept on a short leash to pay off my family’s debts. To the world, I was a fragile liability; to Grayson, I was a pet he could humiliate for sport, forcing me to play the role of a mentally unstable girl while I secretly gathered evidence against his empire.
The cruelty peaked when Grayson forced me to break three years of sobriety in front of his investors, mocking my struggle before making me kneel on a golf course to scrub his shoes. He treated my life like a game, literally betting my sanity against a corporate board seat while he soft-launched a new relationship with a high-profile PR queen.
When the pressure triggered a massive panic attack, Grayson abandoned me in a private clinic just so he wouldn't miss a dinner reservation. Even my own mother turned against me, threatening to leak my psychiatric records and brand me a "violent delusional" if I didn't beg for Grayson’s forgiveness. I was trapped between a man who owned my debt and a mother who valued her estate over my daughter’s life.
I realized then that they would never let me go; they would only break me until there was nothing left. They thought they had erased my soul, but they forgot I was the only witness to the night my true love, Felix, was murdered. I was done being the victim.
I faked a suicide jump off the Queensboro Bridge to go off the grid, then crashed Grayson’s elite gala in a dress that signaled his downfall. Just as Grayson tried to physically crush me one last time, the room went silent. Felix Law, the man the world thought was dead for three years, walked out of the shadows with a federal warrant in his hand.
"Take your hands off her, Warren."
The game didn't just change; it ended. Felix was back from the dead, and this time, we were burning the empire to the ground together.

I was a top patent lawyer until my husband and his lover framed me, destroyed my career, and sent me to prison. For seven years after, I was presumed dead, living as a ghost in a warehouse.
Then, they found me. My ex-husband, Edgar, and our son, Kody, showed up, shocked to see me alive.
They lured me to Kody' s 18th birthday party, but it was a lie. The party was a surprise engagement celebration for Edgar and Celena, the very woman who ruined my life.
In front of everyone, Edgar told me to "let go."
My own son even begged me.
"Mom, please," he cried. "Just say you're sorry."
Sorry? For what? For surviving the car crash they orchestrated to kill me?
I looked at the boy I once loved more than life itself. In the sudden silence of the ballroom, I smiled and asked, "Kody, do you remember the night Celena asked you to slash my tires?"

I was the lead architect for the Pack's billion-dollar tech company, and I was secretly carrying the Alpha's heir.
I thought the merger would finally make Caleb Mark me.
Instead, I walked into my office to find a mistress sitting in my chair.
Caleb didn't just fire me. When I refused to hand over the encryption keys to the system I built, he locked me in a reinforced closet lined with silver mesh.
For a pregnant wolf, silver is poison.
I pounded on the door until my knuckles bled.
"Caleb! Please! It burns! I'm losing the baby!"
I screamed until my voice broke, feeling the life drain from my womb.
But outside the door, his mistress laughed. "Don't listen to her, Caleb. She's just a weak Omega faking it for attention."
And my Fated Mate believed her.
He left me in that dark box while our son died in a pool of my own blood.
He thought he had broken me. He thought I would die a silent death so he could parade his fake heir around.
He forgot one thing: I wrote the code that runs his entire life.
Three days later, I didn't show up to the hospital morgue.
I rolled my wheelchair onto the stage of his global press conference, flanked by the rival Alpha he feared most.
I held up the remote to the main server.
"You killed my son for a lie, Caleb," I smiled into the microphone as the screens behind him broadcast the footage of his crime. "Now, say goodbye to your empire."
